Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2 x + 4 and passes through the point (−6, 3). (2 points) y = x − 1 y = x + 3 y = −x − 1 y = −x + 3

Do you know how to find a line perpendicular to another line based on their gradient/slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have two lines, line 1 and line 2, and you take their gradients, m1 and m2, and you multiply them together and get an answer of -1, then they are perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, can you do your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be A or C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve slope =-2/3 with points given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If those other lines that you listed are possible answers, none of them are right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-2x/3-1
